Hello raj

I've played a little with some verses. Please feel free to tell me I'm not on the right track. I know I'm not. Please ignore the suggestions altogether.

re-opened
a blank [destruction

a dream?
may be [No]
a nightmare?
hope not [I hope] as a nightmare is still safer than destruction.
what then?
um disbelief
of what?
um peace

Hi ula

actually my original choice was "know not" instead of "hope not" but stayed with hope not being not sure if others would read it the same way you and I feel....do you think chosing the middle line "know not" would be better?

not really knowing his intention... i looked up the thesaurus... o what a relief now i understood this
real relief

Thanks Mark

for taking time to visit this page and your good words.....I do agree the small change between Um and hmm....i thought Umm suggest a contemplative mood whereas hmmmm to be more like acceptance mood....don't know if my perception is right..

thanks again..
